One of the co-founders of Wren Rescues, Alissa Smith, was approached about four kittens who were in desperate need of adoption when they were only ten days old. Shelter staff in Downey, California were urgently trying to find help for these animals before they were euthanized. “The clock was ticking with only 15 minutes left, and no one else could take them, but thankfully, a group managed to rescue them safely, and a kind-hearted woman named CJ volunteered to transport them all the way to us in Ventura County, California.”
A family of adorable kittens and their mother were found hiding in someone’s backyard, but the mother cat quickly ran off. Ashley, a kind-hearted local rescuer, immediately started feeding the kittens with a bottle throughout the entire night. Jennifer Hurt, the co-founder of the rescue center, took over the feeding duties during the day.
Alissa shared her observations, stating that the mother cat took excellent care of her kittens. Kittens who are orphaned often lose contact with their mothers once they reach a shelter. This highlights an important reason to refrain from immediately taking the kittens to a shelter and instead give them the chance to be with their mother.
Ashley and Jennifer had made preparations to take care of the kittens until they were old enough to be weaned. However, something unexpected occurred. When the residents who had rescued the kittens returned home, they found the mother cat searching for her offspring outside. The mother cat was apprehended, and the following day she was taken to a foster home to be reunited with her kittens.
After experiencing the distress of losing her kittens, Spidey, the cat also known as Spidey, initially became shy and reluctant to leave the crate until Ashley brought one of her puppies near her. Thus, the mother immediately went outside to join her kittens.
Ashley described the scene with enthusiasm and warmth: “With a proud posture, the mother cat positioned herself at the center of her litter. Immediately, her kittens gathered around her excitedly, eagerly nourishing themselves while she contentedly purred and kneaded her paws.”
Alissa expressed her amazement, stating that they had never witnessed anything as comforting before. She couldn’t believe that this extraordinary miracle had actually happened. The next morning, Spidey was curled up against Ashley, emitting a soothing purr as she woke up.
